Chapter 46-
Ireland POV
“Noo please baby come back please.” I hear these words over and over while I am surrounded by darkness. I just keep walking toward the sound of Oliver's voice. I feel like I am walking forever. I keep trying to call out to him letting him know I am coming but I can’t even hear my own voice just him.All of the sudden the darkness is gone and I am back by that beautiful waterfall. Lying on the ground next to me sleeping is Belle. I reach my hand out tears in my eyes and stroke her beautiful fur. She stirs awake, looks at me sleepy and places her large head onto my lap. I lean down and bury my face in her fur crying.
“My dear sweet heart what are
Chapter Forty Seven-Jackson POVI hated to leave the fight but Alpha needs to know what is going on. I did manage to kill two rogues before I left. I am so afraid for my friends, for my mate. I know Jason is an amazing fighter but I still worry. As I run I can feel every blow that my mate feels I share in his pain as well as I feel every moment of triumph he feels against his opponent; it is the magic of the mate bond. It also allows me to know that he is alive and fighting, he is fighting for our pack, for our friends and for our family and for me. I shift when I near the pack house and grab a pair of basketball shorts that are kept in a basket by the door. I run as fast as I can screaming for the Alpha, the house is dead silent no doubt the pack had already been alerted through mindlink by Zander or Lilly. I curse my Alpha i
Chapter Forty-Eight Ireland POV Alpha Oliver just stands up and leaves the room with his head looking down never saying a word. I look around at everyone still very confused. The look on Alpha Oliverās face made me feel like someone had squeezed my heart through my chest but I donāt know why. āLollipop, you're his mate donāt you remember?ā āErik I remember Alpha Oliver though not how I know him. It doesnāt make sense though?ā Chris steps forward. āWhat doesnāt make sense?ā āI know that I donāt have Belle because of my mate rejecting me. I didnāt accept and he continued to hurt me. I know I never accepted but I donāt feel anything toward Alpha
Chapter Forty-Nine Ireland POV I turn back to look at Alpha Oliver, he is poised to attack. I am sure as an Alpha he did not appreciate the other two busting in his office yelling at him. Before he can even react. I am doubled over laughing my ass off. I mean I am literally laughing so hard tears are coming from my eyes. I probably look and sound like a maniac, like a crazy person but I donāt care. I look around at all the shocked looks on everyoneās faces and just laugh even harder. I donāt know how long it takes me to stop but when I do everyone is still looking at me. I just look at Alpha Oliver. āThank youā is all I say to him and he has a completely dumbfounded look on his face which has me giggling again. A small smile gracing his lips āThank You?ā he questions.
Chapter Fifty Irelandās POV I leave Oliverās office and I have a weird feeling, one of relief, freedom, sorrow and loss floating around inside my chest. I canāt really explain it at all but what I donāt feel is anger. I know that holding on to anger toward him wonāt get us anywhere and now we are allies and friends or we were friends I donāt know what the future will hold. I reach the front porch and everyone is trying to speak to me and calling out to me. āListen everyone really I am okay. I am just going to get some sleep and then I will see you all tomorrow.ā I know that is partially a lie. I am not entirely okay. I begin to walk again. I have every plan to stay at the cabin tonight. I really donāt know why I stayed in tha
Chapter Fifty-One Ireland POV After Chrisās revelation and Erik running in trying to convince me to leave tonight, I truly feel exhausted. I refused to leave because I refuse to let someone have higher power over me again. Now I am just laying here in my old bed begging for sleep to take me. I feel bad for acting as if I had no idea who Oliver was to me but I needed to use the opportunity to get answers. Answers I was not sure I would have gotten otherwise. The truth is that I have noticed how much he has changed. I know what he did in the past was truly horrible and half of me holds onto that hurt and another half wants to believe people can change and move forward. I donāt know what to feel to be completely honest. I was ready to accept him and move forward. However when I started feeling that pain again while fighting Josh it
Chapter Fifty-TwoOliver POVIt has been three weeks since the night she left again. I feel like I am barely holding on as the pain of her leaving has made a permanent home in my heart. She did not even allow me a chance to explain my true feelings. I take another few minutes lying in my bed and stare up at the ceiling thinking of that night.*Flashback*She had looked gorgeous walking into the ball. She wore a fitted satin black dress that came high up around the base of her neck then plunged down low in the back stopping right above her small curve of her butt. The long sleeves covered her tattooed arms and her hair was pulled in a sleek bun on top of her head. She looked so elegant it took my breath away, to be honest she always had that ef
Chapter Fifty-Three Ireland POV I have been at Riverbend with Chris for about 6 months trying to get to know the people. I know the bond is back because my urge to be close to Oliver is stronger. Even when I first left I felt the urge to be close to him despite the bond but now it is stronger. The only interaction I have with him are letters delivered back and forth. I remember the phone call with Erik then the letter sent by Oliver warning me of danger from the twins. I was able to calm Erikās concerns by going over my plan with him. I made him promise to not tell Oliver. I simply told Oliver in a letter that I wasnāt his concern any longer and lied about the mate pull being back. I talked about how the Twins were so good to me and that they had never done anything to hurt me unlike a certain other person I knew. I even kissed t
Chapter Fifty-FourOliver POV-I am laying on my bed thinking of my love. I am writing her a letter again to tell her everything that has been happening. I was so upset when she wrote me stating that she was staying with the Twins that she was choosing them. I wanted to tear them apart to go and claim what was mine. Erik had talked me into trusting her and said I should have faith in her and everything might be different than it seems. I have however doubted his words when there are times my mouth burns from her kissing those filthy mutts. I however also realize that the pain is not what it should feel like. Again I know she is protecting me. Last night I kept getting flashes in my mind of my hands on her body. I had to take a shower to relieve the tension but I didn’t give a fuck because I knew she was thinking about me. I gue
